Field Notes

Description:

Gray body with brown saddles running down the back. This is a baby from this year; at birth they are between 15-20 inches and this guy was certainly no bigger than that.

Habitat:

Found about 10 m high in a tree. I was standing on a balcony and this guy was still about 4 m away from me. The tree was in the middle of the main courtyard in my resort, very surprising place to see a boa. I tried figuring out a way to get to him, but before I could figure one out he went higher up in the canopy to where I couldn't see him anymore.
